Chapter 101: Simple Introduction
ยท
The dense crowd of assassins were all black-clad and masked, and Shar Pei couldn't tell who was who. I just saw someone take out a crystal ball that kept drifting away from the pitch-black mist, and there was a painfully distorted human face inside.
Syllable! Smashed to the ground.
A cold black mist burst out, filling the interior of the underground tavern in the blink of an eye.
Shrouded in a black mist, Shar Pei felt very uncomfortable, like a sullen fart while covering her head over a quilt.
The black fog thinned and gathered around everyone.
This is a high-level magic item on the other side of the sea, storing the shadow group covert magic that can only be used once. As long as there is this black fog around you, it is difficult for others to notice.
Open the door.
Clusters of assassins streamed out of the small door. Two hundred people rushed out at high speed through the small door that was limited to two people. This is the first time in his life that Shar Pei has seen these assassins like a swarm of bees with a common consciousness, efficient and neat.
Shar Pei couldn't help but step back, leaning his back against the wall.
At this moment, several assassins took out five dark purple potion bottles, silently stuffed them into the pockets of the five Shar Pei's waists, and then quickly sewed them firmly to death.
Shar Pei asked inexplicably, "What is this?" โ
"For destroying corpses. If you are arrested, we will break the bottle. One of the Assassins shook the throwing knife in his hand, meaning that when the time came, he would throw the knife to help them lose their bones, "Be careful not to fall and crush it, hehe......" sneered coldly.
Shapi and the four younger brothers were speechless when they heard this, they never expected that there would be something about them?
One of the younger brothers couldn't help but say: "But big brother, we are all warriors, and we are not good at stealth actions......"
The assassin snorted, "What do you mean?" โ
"Wouldn't it be nice to take us laymen with you in the stealth operation?"
Croak.
The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. The younger brother, who was still talking a second ago, was stabbed through the heart by the assassin.
The group of assassins heard the voice, but no one looked back, continuing to maintain formation and trying to rush out of the underground tavern as quickly as possible.
The Assassin wiped the blood from the corpse with his knife, then flicked the potion in the corpse's waist pocket. The glass bottle shattered, and the acrid smoke suddenly rose. That amount of potion reacted violently when it met the flesh and blood, and soon there were no bones and clothes left.
"To be precise, we only need Shar Pei alone, and it doesn't have to be him." The assassin sneered, "All of us have this potion sewn. Now, who is still fantasizing about getting out of this? โ
Shapi and the others broke out in a cold sweat and waved their hands again and again.
This poison is only available in the Northlands, and it only circulates in the underworld, making it expensive. One bottle per person, a total of two hundred bottles, and the crystal ball just now, how much does it cost? These Assassins are here for real!
After being nakedly threatened, Shar Pei and the others no longer dared to say more.
When there were only thirty or forty people left, they were forced to rush out together.
Out.
There were more than twenty passers-by on the street outside, talking and laughing to themselves, all of them turning a blind eye to the sudden appearance of more than 200 people, which was the effect of hidden magic.
A row of Assassins with their hands down, used as stepping stones for their companions, constantly throwing others onto the roof. With the exception of a few who needed help to get into the house, most of the Assassins climbed the wall on their own and climbed to the roof. It's not all unit professions, and it seems that there are mages mixed in it.
Of course, Shar Pei and the others were also thrown on the hands of the Assassins.
By the time Shar Pei stood on the roof, the Assassins had scattered as planned, disappearing into the night. In the middle of the morning, the city is brightly lit and peaceful. However, two hundred Assassins were as light as swallows on the rooftop, and they quickly approached the most obvious position, the castle of the Eastern Shangjue.
There were also several Assassins who appeared to be mages, crouching on the roof of the house, intently carving the teleportation circle to be used on the return journey.
There are more guards of all kinds in the city than usual. The number of guards on the streets has at least doubled, and even the number of guards on the rooftops has increased considerably. Three steps and one post, five steps and one post.
If the Assassins encountered a guard or sentry mixed with an astral mage, they would be wiped out with lightning speed. Shar Pei only saw the bow-wielding guards on the roof, and suddenly they were swarmed by Assassins from all directions, and when they looked closely, they no longer even existed corpses.
That's all there is to the locust transit......
The Assassins had spread out considerably. Shar Pei stubbornly ran after the others, jumping from roof to rooftop.
Run.
Shar Pei secretly watched around, trying to find an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that there were also a large number of assassins in the alley below, which was simply overwhelming.
He felt that the number of people was wrong, and the more they ran on the roof, the more scattered they were, but the total number of people on the ground kept increasing...... There is more than just a cluster of assassins!
No chance......
Shappi's mind went blank and she just ran along. He couldn't understand or accept the fact that as many as four hundred people were trying to assassinate Dong Shangjue, and it felt very unreal.
Suddenly, an Assassin grabbed Shar Pei and stopped him. Pointing downward, he said coldly: "Lead them away, at least the captain." โ
Shar Pei came back to his senses, and before he knew it, he had reached the north gate of the middle wall. Late at night, of course, the city gates were closed. The huge and heavy city gate of pure steel is more than 20 meters high, and there are more than 40 heavily armed guards in front of the gate, and the torches dangling on the wall are like long snakes, and the guard strength has indeed increased a lot compared to normal days.
The nearest roof is a few dozen meters from the city wall, and it is an open area without shelter.
"Well, the masking effect on my body is still there, even if I want to lure the captain away, ......"
"Rest assured. When you get out into the light, they'll see you. You just need to talk to him for a few words and trick him into walking away. You look no different than usual, don't they all know you? It's simple. โ
It does sound simple.
In fact, Shapi was very familiar with the guards in the city.
There is no room for refusal. Shar Pei and his three younger brothers climbed off the roof, walked out of the alley, and appeared in the light of the city wall head-on, and approached the city gate step by step.
"Who is it?"
The guards spotted them swaggering towards them, and with a loud shout, countless bows and arrows were aimed at the walls and doorways.
Sha Pei was very panicked in his heart, but he was also a guy who had seen the world, and he waved his hand to the captain of the guards in front of the city gate and shouted: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time? It's me, the three-headed vicious dog. The tone was pretending to be relaxed.
"Huh? Shapeko? โ
The captain recognized the comer, motioned for the others to lower their weapons, and greeted them with a smile and open arms. The two warmly hugged and greeted each other.
The reason why Shar Pei was able to find three employers alone and never be eliminated is naturally unsurpassed. He is very good at being a person, and he is better at fiddling with complex and intertwined interpersonal relationships, and he usually gets along very well with people who can be used one day.
The two quickly mingled and talked and laughed. The three younger brothers were no less impressive, chatting with the other guards.
"What kind of play is this? It's like martial law in the whole city. Could it be that an Assassin has appeared? โ
"Hell knows. The boss suddenly said that the garrison should be strengthened today, and he refused to say why, causing me to work overtime temporarily, but nothing happened. The captain smiled: "I'm on duty, let's drink together another day?" "Let's go.
Shapi grabbed him, pointed to the distance and said, "Don't go, I'm here today to ask you." Borrow a step to speak? โ
"What's the matter?" The captain asked, confused.
"Let's see if I like the gift I prepared for you, and then we'll get down to business."
The captain smiled and said, "How could I not like the gift prepared by Shapi Ge?" As long as you can, if you need my help, just say it! With that, he happily followed Shar Pei into the distance.
Get out of a well-lit place.
Standing in a small alley.
The captain looked around, but didn't see any gifts. He looked at Shar Pei suspiciously, but did not speak.
"Dude, I'm sorry ......"
"What do you mean by that...... Belch! โ
Before the captain could finish his sentence, the assassin covered his mouth from behind and slit his throat.
While he was dying, several Assassins quickly surrounded him and used some kind of magic. That kind of mana made Shar Pei feel like her hairs were upside down.
A few seconds later, the captain turned into a walking corpse controlled by a remote man. The Assassins quickly wiped away the blood and lowered their helmets so that it was difficult for anyone to notice what was going on.
The walking corpse staggered back in the direction of the city gate.
One of the Assassins patted Shar Pei on the shoulder and said, "Good job, but we're a little late. Now, walk back with him to the gates. It's like nothing happened, it's simple, right? โ
Well...... It's really simple.
Shar Pei simply became one of the gangs that attacked the fortress city. It was too late, and now he was far from being an accomplice.
โฆโฆ Treason, to kill the whole family.
